TEIMMING.

Application led July 11, 1924. Serial No. 725,363.

ToI @ZZ 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that HYMAN ROSEN and BEN- JAMIN SALZBURG, both citizens ofthe United States, and both residing at New York city, in the county ofBronx and State of New York, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Trimmings, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates` to trimmings or ornamental fabrics and moreparticularly to a trimming or an ornamented piece of Other objects ofthis invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter pointedout.

The invention accordingly consists in the features of construction,combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will beexemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which thescope of application will be indicated in the following claims.

In the accompanying` drawing, in which is shown one of the variouspossible illustrative embodiments of this invention,

Fig. 1 is a plan view showing a conventional ornamental unit of atrimming embodying the invention;

Fig. 2 is a side elevational view of the unit trimming shown in Fig. 1;

Fig. 8 is an enlarged elevational view of the separate parts of a buttonused in forming the trimming;

Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view similar to Fig. 4 showing amodified form of button fastening construction; and

Fig. 6 is an enlarged plan view of a button having the modified form offastening with a half of the cap portion removed to show the interiorconstruction.

Referring in detail to the drawing, 1

denotes a suitable flexible fabric of such material as silk, cotton,linen or the like, on which a trimming is to be formed, one conventionalornamental unit being shown at l1 in Figs. 1 and 2. A trimming design isstamped or otherwise indicatedl on fabric 10 in the well known. mannerand a series of buttons 12 are secured to said fabric 10 Vto conformwith the said design to formthe trimming.

Each button 12 may be of any desired shape or size, and is shown in thedrawing to comprise a circular cap portion 13 having an inturned rim 13ainto which is fitted the correspondingly shaped upstanding edge 14ab ofa disc'14 for securing the button 12 to the fabric 10 as willhereinafter appear.

Cap portion 13 may be formed of any suitable material that lends itselfto a decorative finish, stamping, or molding as hard rubber, bone,paraline. sheet metal, or the like material, or may7 be formed of plainsheet .metal covered with an outer piece 15 of decorative fabric asshown in Figs. 8, 4 and 5.

Disc 4 is preferably stamped from sheetI metal and when formed of sheetsteel it may be japanned l or galvanized to prevent rusting. Inassembling the button 12 (see Figs. 3 and 4), covered cap-portion 13 isplaced in position on the front side of fabric 10 and the disc 14 ispressed up into said portion 13 from the rear side of the fabric 10thereby firmly securing the button 12 in position.

Since the buttons 12 are never subjected to pulling strains, thefrictional clamp fastening means between cap portions 13 and disc 14provide a simple, highly practical and inexpensive fastening for saidbuttons 12 to form the trimming.

Where the fabric 10 has a tendency to slightly wrinkle adjacent theclamp portion thereof, a modified embodiment of the in vention may beused by constructing the button fastening as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. Anopening 16 is cut in the portion of the fabric enclosed in the button 12or the threads of the fabric passing through the button 12 are severedto relieve the strain in the fabric which tend to cause wrinkling duringthe button fastening operation.

It will thus be seenthat there is provided a device in which the severalobjects of this invention are achieved and which is well adapted to meetthe conditions of practical use.

As various possible embodiments might be made of the above invention andas various changes might be made in the embodiment above set forth, itis to be understood that all matter herein set forth or shown in theaccompanying drawings is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in alimiting sense.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent l. An article of manufacture comprising afieXible fabric, buttons having front and rear interlocking portions,and a decorative fabric for coveringsaid front portion7 saidinterlocking portions arranged to clamp both said fabrics therebetweenaccording to a predetermined ornamental design to form an ornamentedmaterial or a trimming.

2. An article of manufacture comprising a iieXible fabric and buttonshaving` interlocking portions for clamping the fabric therebetweenaccording to a predetermined ornamental design to form an ornamentedmaterial or a trimming, the fabric between said button portions havingopenings therein to eliminate the tendency of the fabric to wrinkle.

3. An article of manufacture comprising a flexible fabric, buttonshaving front and rear interlocking portions, and a decorative fabricforcovering said front portion, said interlockino' portions arranged toclamp both said fabrics therebetween according to a predeterminedornamental design to form an ornamented material or a trimming, thefirst mentioned fabric between each set of said button portions havingan opening therein to eliminate the tendencyT of said fabric to wrinkle.

4L. Av method of forming an ornamented material or a trimming of afabric and buttons having front and rear frictional engaging portionscomprising in covering each of said front portions with a decorati vefabric and then clamping both fabrics between each set of the saidportions in assembling a button and positioning` the buttons according`to a predetermined ornamental design.

5. A method of forming an ornamental material or a trimming of a fabricandv buttons having front and rear engaging portions comprising inlaying out a design on the fabric for ornamentally positioning thebuttons thereon, severing the threads of the fabric in the mid-portionsto be covered by the buttons and clamping the said fabric portionsbetween the button portions in assembling the buttons.

6. A method of forming an ornamented material or a trimming of a fabric,and buttons having front and rear fri-:tional engage ing portionscomprising in laying out a design on the fabric for ornamentallypositioning the buttons thereon, severing the threads of the fabric inthe mid-portions to be covered by the buttons7 covering each of saidiront portions with a decorative fabric, clamping the corcred front andrear button portions in assemblying the buttons In testimony 'whereof weaffix our signatures.
